TORONTO — Electro-Federation �鶹��ýӳ�� (EFC) has announced the appointment of Patrick McManus as president and CEO, effective Oct. 13.

McManus currently serves as executive director of both the Ontario Sewer and Watermain Construction Association and the Greater Toronto Sewer and Watermain Contractors’ Association. He is a seasoned association executive who has worked with manufacturers, distributors and contractors on advocacy, government relations, labour relations and stakeholder engagement, a release reads.

“Patrick brings the leadership experience, collaborative approach and strategic perspective needed to represent EFC’s diverse membership and guide the association into its next chapter,” said Catherine McKeown, chair of EFC’s board of directors, in a statement.

The appointment follows an extensive search led by a search committee comprising representatives from each of EFC’s membership categories and supported by Boyden, a global executive search firm.

“I am honoured to join EFC and to have the opportunity to represent a membership that is playing such an important role in �鶹��ýӳ��’s economic growth and electrified future,” said McManus. “What excites me most about this opportunity is the chance to get to know the members, understand their priorities, and work closely with the board and staff to build on the strong foundation this organization has established.”

McManus will succeed Carol McGlogan, who is retiring following 10 years with the association. McGlogan will remain through the end of 2026 to support the transition.

“Through the selection process, I was impressed by Patrick’s thoughtful questions, willingness to learn and genuine interest in EFC and our team,” said McGlogan. “I believe he will be a strong people leader and an excellent fit for our organization.”

EFC is a national not-for-profit association representing more than 230 member companies across �鶹��ýӳ��’s electrical and automation industries, including manufacturers, distributors, and manufacturers’ representatives.
